hi guys.  I've just tried to load the kopete.kdevelop from our CVS, after another developer has been using it, so the project file is full of his paths.  Normally this works for me.  Note the file is a clean checkout, not resulting from a CVS merge, so it should be the legal project file that the other developer's gideon wrote.  

What happened was that instead of parsing the project files as normal, or giving an error that paths in the project file could not be found, gideon started parsing my entire $HOME, and traversed into my 10Gb mp3 partition.  Gideon started 'parsing' those and my entire system ground to a halt: OOM. 

This is unsafe behaviour and should be guarded against.
